Jazzercise Hosted a Weekend-long Dance Fitness Getaway and It Was Epic

Over 1,000 Jazzercise customers and instructors from around the world came together last weekend for a weekend-long dance fitness and shopping convention we call Jazzercise Live!. Hosted at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa in Palm Desert, the fun consisted of various cardio dance fitness and strength classes led by Jazzercise elite professional choreographers including our Founder & CEO Judi Sheppard Missett and President of Jazzercise, Shanna Missett Nelson.

Excitement was through the roof, and the energy was contagious. Crowds rushed the room once doors opened on Friday with the kick-off class featuring Shanna and her krew.

The Jazzercise krew went LIVE from the event, recording routine tapings that go out to all our franchisees, so event-goers got to be a part of the action!

Saturday provided a full lineup of exhilaration with fully-charged classes and shopping. After an adrenaline-rushing round two of live taping, the crowds were led through a Pilates and yoga flow, followed by a high-intensity Burst Class, that was exactly what it sounds like.

Long-time Jazzercise friend Tim Roberts was there to teach a rousing hip hop routine the audience went crazy for. Featured instructors and Jazzercise personalities showcased some friendly competition with a Duel Off that spurred some audience members to create their own after class.

The finale class radiated good vibes and bright colors. Judi, Shanna, Young McCarthy and the rest of the instructor krew got the crowd hyped up and dancing in the dark with an all-new Glow Dance Party, where attendees wore white tees and fluorescent jewelry under black lights, showing what it really means to “Own Your Glow.” Jazzercise’s Toni Gonzalez (instructor at Jazzercise Carlsbad Fitness Center) sang ‘What the World Needs Now is Love’ which brought those on stage and off nearly to tears.

Judi Sheppard Missett wrapped up the event and the Jazzercise mission with this touching message, “Use that glow that you have, use that joy and that love to shine way out into the universe. When you have joy and love, you have great power, so I want you to use that power to get stronger and then go out and help others become stronger.”

For those of you who joined us in Palm Desert, thank you so much for making it as special as it was! And those who weren’t able to make it, we missed you!

Another fun, positive, and AMAZING Jazzercise Live event in the books. See you next time, #fitkrew!
